Hello

CDSE is just another entry in defence.It is such that it allows entry in all three wings.
Qualifications-army-graduation from any stream(IMA,OTA)
Qualifications-air force-graduation from any stream with physics and maths in 10+2(AFA)
Qualifications-navy-graduation from B.SC(Physics and maths)(NA)

CDSE have no percentage requirement,conducted by UPSC.
Two times in a year,in the month of May and December.

As CDSE is conducted twice in a year,it is named as CDSE(I) and CDSE(II).

Hence there is no difference between CDSE(I) and CDSE(II).
If no difference,then there is no sense in applying for any one special.All are same.
